Which colleges have the "gunners" in their pre-med classes?

of course from a practical matter, even those courses NOT officially on a curve are in essence curved. A syllabus may write everyone who scores a 90 will receive an A, but all the Prof has to do is crank up the difficulty of the tests such that the mean test score is a ~70…and only xx% score a 90+ to receive the A. So yes, officially no ‘curve’, but a scaled score instead. :)

With the possible exception of Brown, where the the mean grade in the sciences may be an A-, private colleges typically scale/curve the grades to a low B.
